Well if you go this way and IF you can run a 5 speed it would be the way to go for sure. These are pretty much purpose built deals and would love the tight RPM spread of a 5 spd.

Well riding the dots as you say does not work well in an NA deal. With a power adder car it is definitely the way to go. Naturally aspirated cars are all about 60' and riding the dots usually don't ad up to quick 60's. If we don't 60' we don't run to well. Lots of factors involved in getting an NA deal to run hard for sure but they just flat don't respond very well to having their teeth knocked out like a power adder car does.

I agree big difference between riding the dots and pulling timing at the hit. We pull a lot of timing now and are still working on the entire set up. Just saying they do not reco er like a power adder car is all and riding the dots is not something that I know of anyone in the NA classes doing. But we all kill timing from the hit, IF you have decent power.
Then again as the ford guys love to point out I am sure we are doing it all wrong. Been 8.38 at 4400' so far. Went .50's this last weekend in 6000' and we are still working on the suspension a nd pulling timing. Best we can muster is a low 1.30 60's so far. Then again I weigh a bunch more than the small block Mustang crowd. Just saying...

No worries here. Just trying to make the comparison that riding the dots NA is not the same as with a power adder. You made the point as well in your post just wanted to reiderate the point. We are new to this stuff ourselves and still trying things for sure. This past weekend we came out with an entirely new set up with the rear suspension and were happy with they way it responded. With more laps and pars hopefully it will show big improvement. Just sucks we can MPH with the best but are still struggling with 60' and thus ET. As for the SB Ferd comments on my part just a sore spot with myself and a LOT Of other racers in the NA ranks. Along with the fact that some of those combos are not a scrutinized as they could be as far as valve angles and cubes etc. Rumor has it that at The Street Car Supernationals this year they may be getting pumped to see just how big some of them are

I agree they are getting it done very well. We run the same tire as well just a lot more weight. I wish I had bought Chris's small block and we could run the car at less weight. IMO that is the BIGGEST issue we face. Just like Comp weight is the key. We know we are bringing a spork to a gun fight be we will keep swinging as long as we have a place to swing it. Enough of my pi$$ing and moaning
